I have loved the Anger Translator ever since. I need your help to realize he’s a court jester.

I'm so glad you mentioned the Obama roast. In context, that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

So, are you going to do mimes next? I'm realllllly hoping. Maybe some comparisons to roles like Andy Serkis as Gollum? Can't miss a chance at a Tolkien reference....

It wasn’t even a roast--it was an established clown character; his Anger Translator. What was extraordinary is his performing with him! Though you’ve got a great point: the celebrity roast practice is right in line with this old court jester tradition, for sure. I didn’t even think about those but they totally are.

Should I do a whole thing about mimes as a subgenre? Hm..... that gives me ideas......
